The note is too easily splattered, overshot, undershot, etc.
My colleagues have the same experience on this horn with this same note.
The G, Ab, A, B, and C are all solid enough - just a squirrelly Bb.

I once had a Yamaha 867 Geyer wrap - a wonderful horn but also with a poorly
slotted B flat - that is on the B flat side of the horn. On the F side, it
was great - easy to play and in tune. So try the F side or if you are
playing on the F side, try the B flat side. I have also played Geyer wraps

Some solutions that might help this problem are:
to use spacers in the slide if it is pulled out very far.

If there are any ledges, then the slide must be dissasembled and reassembled
without the ledges.

If you haven't yet acquired the Paxman, try the Hans Hoyer DK122 as an
alternative. I really enjoy mine, and you might find it freer-blowing
than the 11D, and I find mine doesn't overblow easily. A nice touch is
the soldered bell rim, it seems to help on the over-blowing front. The

As others have noted, there are some issues with the
way this horn is put together, though it plays pretty
well. Good point: a nice focussed tone; and I can get
a rich tone with it by using a deep cup mouthpiece.
Bad point: the design of the valve lever se

I got an adjustable hand reamer from McMaster-Carr that long enough to
open up all the slide joints to a full .468 bore. I have yet to cause a
leak, so I suppose the cheaper fixed diameter reamer sized to the horn
might work as well. This process can make a huge difference.

Joe Singer was also a violist. I have seen both Singer and James Chambers
listed as principal or solo horn during the period mentioned. I don't know
what the actual organization of the section was but I believe Chambers was
principal from 1946-1969.
